About

SoundHound Inc. turns sound into understanding and actionable meaning. Via their Hound app and Houndify API platform, the Company believes in enabling humans to interact with the things around them in the same way we interact with each other: by speaking naturally to mobile phones, cars, TVs, music speakers, coffee machines, and every other part of the emerging 'connected' world. Hound, leverages their proprietary Speech-to-Meaning technology to showcase a ground-breaking smartphone experience. Their SoundHound product applies our technology to music, enabling people to discover, explore, and share the music around them, and even find the name of that song stuck in their heads by singing or humming. And through the Houndify platform, we empower developers to be part of the speech-to-meaning revolution.
